Salon Anatomica
Monthly gatherings of discourse and exploration.
A salon is a gathering “for pleasure or to educate.” In our case, it is a space to explore the many layers of anatomy—both seen and unseen.
Our discourse weaves through fascia, the subtle body, consciousness, and energetic theory, drawing from various traditions and modern inquiry alike. These virtual gatherings take place once a month, and while we often follow a theme or story arc over multiple salons, each discussion stands alone—welcoming new participants at any time.
Join us as we engage in conversation, curiosity, and discovery, tracing the connections between structure and energy in the human experience.
